Boo-freakin'-hoo

< sniff, sniff > 'scuse me, i'm tearing up... < sniff >

An alarmed banking industry looked for friends in Washington yesterday as it tried to head off severe congressional restrictions on compensation, fearful that a wave of popular anger about vast paydays will result in permanent damage to the industry.

After a week of unexpected setbacks for an industry accustomed to deference, bank executives said they were now racing to convince Congress and the Obama administration that imposing punitive taxes on bonuses would unfairly punish thousands of people for the sins of a few. Executives also argued that hitting banks would hurt the broader economy.

oh, puh-l-e-e-e-e-eze... i'm living on the tiniest FRACTION of what these people are boo-hooing about... gag me with a spoon...
